About Us

We are a family-owned Waikato business operating across three well-established New Zealand brands.

Southern Fresh is one of New Zealand's leading growers of specialty salads, vegetables, and fresh herbs. Burwood Nurseries is one of New Zealand's largest fresh-cut flower growers, while Freeda supplies premium flowers and floristry products to florists nationwide.

We are looking for a creative and motivated Marketing Coordinator to help tell our story, showcase our products, and support the continued growth of our brands.

About the Role

This is a hands-on marketing role with plenty of variety. You'll work across all three brands, creating content, managing campaigns, and helping bring our products and people to life through digital marketing.

The role would suit a marketing student, recent graduate, or someone looking to build their experience in content creation, digital marketing, and brand management.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, create, and schedule content across social media platforms.
• Create engaging photo, video, and written content for our brands.
• Develop and distribute email newsletters and marketing campaigns.
• Assist with seasonal promotions, product launches, and brand initiatives.
• Maintain a consistent and engaging brand presence across marketing channels.
• Monitor campaign performance and provide insights on engagement and results.
• Generate creative ideas to promote products, trends, and company initiatives.
• Work closely with internal teams to deliver marketing projects.

About You

You may be studying marketing, communications, digital media, business, or a related field, or have recently completed your studies.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Is confident using social media platforms and content creation tools.
• Has experience with Canva or similar design software.
• Is creative, organised, and self-motivated.
• Enjoys taking ownership and bringing new ideas to the table.
• Has an eye for detail and a passion for storytelling and branding.

Photography, videography, graphic design, or email marketing experience would be an advantage but isn't essential.

What We Offer

• Real-world marketing experience across multiple established brands.
• A supportive and collaborative team environment.
• The opportunity to build a strong portfolio of content and campaigns.
• Variety, creativity, and the chance to make a genuine impact.

If you're looking for a role where you can develop your marketing skills while working with great products and brands, we would love to hear from you.
